[Ascites and carcinoma of the endometrium].
The authors exopound three cases of women affected by endometrial carcinoma in which the ascithis has represented the first clinic manifestation in absence of metrorrhage (first two cases); in the third case, instead, the ascithis has appeared four years after the surgical operation of total laparohysterectomy with bilateral annexiectomy and telecobaltotherapy. The association of the malign ascithis with endometrial adenocarcinoma is of rare observation. The Authors think very likely that the intraperitoneal semination in the cases they examined, is due to the infiltration of the myometry, of the regional and iuxtaregional lymphonoids with formation of ascithis.
